paTture from the ordinary is an alb
senCe OF drawers. AIT goods are ar.
ranged in plain view Of the visitor and
customer, which slso aids materially
In hapdling. While all these improve
menta have been done by the proprie
tors, and with no spirit OF stinting and
false economy, 1t is found to be nearly
fifty per cent. cheaper than the old and
prevailing style. An inexperienced
person would naturally suppose tia
such lavish improvements would cost
small fortune, which would be Offset
by lacking II to the price Cf goods.
This is beyond the bounds Of reason,
however, as is evident from the fact
OF small cost given above.
The building Is four stories high, 80
feet front, 100 fset deep, and has a
spacious cellar. Each OF these COM
partments have been appropriated for
special branches OF the business, as
follows: Ia the cellar will be stored
oils and Le.vy goods; frat floor, gem
eral drugs and sundries. The goods in
this department will be mostly broken
packages, and for the especial convs-
nience OF customers. BY this ar.
ringement, trips to the upper floor,
nee sesitating tiresome and sometimes
vexatlous delays, will be entirely
avoided. The second floor will be de-
voted to patent medicines and liquors,
while the third Is set apart for manu-
featuring purposes. On the fourth and
last floor glassware is to be stored and
exhibited.
In this systematic arrangement OF
the commodious store, the firm claim,
end with the facts to substantiate the
assertion, that for facility In handling
goods they are unsurpassed. With
such volume OF trade as has come to
them, this factor Is all important.
They have In their constant employ
| four travelling ssltsmen, and some
| time1 Ave, who penetrate the entire
States OF Tennessee, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Southern Kentucky,
North Alabama and Southwest Mis-
s1uri. In the house, the same gentle
men who have hereto fjre served In
the wholesale line will be retained.
They are all thoroughly competent,
and 30 devoted to their employers
that every energy is devoted to the
firms interest. 1t is largely to the CO.
operation Of these faithful and trust
worthy assistants that the efforts Cf
the proprietors havs been 30 richly
rewarded.
The stock of the establishment is
constantly maintained at between $780,
COO and 100000, aud the yearly sales
run up into the hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars. This seems enormous for a
Southern drug house, and 80 1t is, as
perhaps no other approaches that
volume. Another feature, unusual in
this section in fact II Ia believed to
rest exclusively with G. W. Jones 4
Co. --is that II is strictly Wholesale
The pyoprietors have all they can at
tend to without retail trade, and CON
cluded some time ago to abandon It,
This determination was not put into
! practice until their new quarters were
secured, but in future that branch o.
business will be rigidly ignored. Con
sidering the profit ordinarily attached
to this line some estimate can then bI
formed Of the Importance Of the new
. departure.
Special attention will be devoted L
manufacturing. Improved chemics
appliances OF the latest pattern Law
been ordered for the laboratory, an,
are now on their way to this city. Tn,
department Is in charge OF gradual,
in pharmacy and thorough chemist
Everything turned out is therefor
guaranteed fret class, and prepared
, from the purest drugs.
